Police in Belfast appeal for information after an incident at a restaurant in the University Street area in which a man is alleged to have used racial slurs. According to reports, the man began banging on doors and shouting racial abuse inside or near the premises. In addition, one outlet reports that the man discharged a fire extinguisher in the direction of diners.
The police appeal seeks witnesses or anyone with relevant information to come forward and assist with enquiries. At this stage, the allegations have not been confirmed in court, and police have not reported details on the man’s identity or any charges. The incident has prompted police to ask members of the public to provide any footage or information that may help determine what happened and whether there were any further victims or damages related to the extinguisher discharge.
Authorities are continuing their investigation and will assess statements from witnesses and any available evidence as inquiries proceed.
